    Seems I'm in demand round these parts, you never know when a wild RobbingBandit will appear so use a Master Ball when you is lucky enough to sees one.

    I saw they had a couple of G&Ws in RAGE today, one in particular I don't have, Turtles, but it was around the €70 mark so I passed on it.

    Also, they have a lovely lovely Vectrex, with five boxed games plus screen overlays. Price was €399.
    Not too bad tbh, although my own Veccy has needed some capacitors replaced as well as a particular sound/control chip in order to keep it working.
    A simply amazing device.

    The game and watch was £55 and guess what I had in my pocket £65 in credit, I should have bought it, damn Belfast the town just spooks me every time I'm up there. The Cex had Disgaea for ds for £30 too but couldn't find the box for it, almost bought it too just to play it again, is in no way near as good as the psp version but I still would have liked it again.

    I have the original DS (nearly 11/12 years old now) do the 3ds/newer games work in it?

    So Smyths in Waterford have their pre order SNES 3ds XLs in stock but a computer glitch is apparently preventing them from being released today!
    Was looking forward to having it this evening :(

    Wtf, that's unfortunate. Did you check argos to see if they had any?

    Apollo Justice HD out next month meaning the whole series will be available on the 3ds :)

    large.jpg
    earlier this year Capcom announced it was releasing a revamped version of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney on the 3DS. With the game already scheduled for a November launch, the Japan-based publisher and developer has now confirmed the title will release in Europe on 23rd November

    Is the 3DS still a good purchase these days?

    Looking for a treat for myself to help with the commute

    It's still a great little console, but harder to recommend to someone buying new these days, when the Switch exists...

    Half the price of a switch for a 2ds XL spend another €100 on ocarina of time Luigi's mansion 2 Fire Emblem and a Pokemon game and you got a fun commute

    But...

    The colossal games library, from the DS to the 3DS, makes it a good device to own.
    I mean, from Etrian Odyssey to Kirby Triple Deluxe, it's just a cracking device.

    Oh yeah, no denying that! Still love mine, just started into Fusion mode in Metroid: Samus Returns, part way through the Monster Hunter Stories demo, and considering going for the full game.

    I love the 3D in most games though, so would always recommend the 3DS over the 2DS for anyone thinking of getting one. And the "NEW" versions rather than the older models. The faster load time and improved 3D stability alone are worth the upgrade.
